WARNING: Always disconnect the battery pack from the tool before any assembly, adjustments or
changing accessories.
INSERTION AND REMOVAL OF RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
Depress the battery-release button located on the front of the battery pack to release battery pack.
Pull the battery pack out and remove it from the tool.
WARNING: Always remove the battery pack before making adjustments to the equipment.
Be sure to read the following information before you put the cordless equipment into operation:
Charge the battery pack with the charger. An empty battery pack requires a charging period of
approximately 1 to 2hours.
USING THE SAFETY KICKSTAND
The safety kickstand (1) on the bottom of the planer can be engaged to help keep the blade from coming
into contact with the work surface when the planer is not in use.
To engage the safety kickstand during time of rest, slide the stand until it springs out. To disengage the
kickstand before operation, push the stand into the slot and slide it until it locks in place.
WARNING: Shavings may jam in the dust extraction port when cutting damp wood. Never stick your
finger into the dust extraction port. Clean out the shavings with a stick, but only when the cutter has
stopped running and the tool has been unplugged from the power source.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
The tool is equipped with a trigger lock to
avoid unintentional start-ups.
1. To turn the planer on, press the trigger lock
(1) and then squeeze the trigger switch (2).
2. To switch off, release the trigger switch.
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING DEPTH
The cutting depth of a planer is determined by the height
difference between the adjustable front shoe and the
cutting edge of the blade. The depth adjustment knob
retracts the front shoe to adjust how much blade is
exposed, which determines the amount of material that will
be removed. To adjust the cutting depth:
Rotate the depth adjustment knob (Fig. E - 1) until the
indicator arrow (Fig. E - 2) aligns with the desired cutting
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING DEPTH
OPERATION
The cutting depth of aplaner is determined by the height difference
between the adjustable front shoe and the cutting edge of the blade.
The depth adjustment knob retracts the front shoe to adjust how
much blade is exposed, which determines the amount of material
that will be removed. To adjust the cutting depth:
Rotate the depth adjustment knob (Fig. E -1) until the indicator
arrow (Fig. E -2) aligns with the desired cutting depth on the depth
gauge. Turn the depth adjustment knob clockwise for a deeper cut
and counter-clockwise for a shallower cut.
NOTE: The minimum cutting increment is 1/128 inch (0.2 mm). The maximum cutting depth of the planer is
1/8 inch. However, the more material you attempt to take off with each pass, the less even the final board will be.
The appropriate cutting depth depends on the material of your workpiece. For optimum planing performance, the
maximum cutting depth should be 1/64 of an inch per pass. Make multiple progressive cuts, removing less than 1/64
inch per pass to achieve the total cutting depth. To accurately determine the depth of cut, plane a similar piece of
scrap material and adjust the settings accordingly.
CAUTION: Always ensure that the number on the depth gauge is at the “0” position when the tool is
not in use. However, even at “0”, aslightly protrusive blade could still make contact depending on how
the blade was installed. Engage the safety kickstand to prevent the blade from contacting the workpiece.
